Notes

A print of this glass negative was found in a photo album entitled Colborne 125th Anniversary Committee. Written on inside front cover of this: Reproductions of glass negatives and positives of Colborne, Ontario's past - early 1900's - belonging to Arnold Warren and the Wm. C. Griffis family. Developed by Wm. Bennett (cousin of Joan & Harold Harnden under the auspices of the 125th Anniversary Committee celebrating Colborne's 125th Birthday 1859-1984. Handwritten on the back of 15gp print: "Jewellery store in background with old clock in view for watch repair advertising (now Harnden's Jewellery)." Also in the 125th album underneath this print, a handwritten note on a small tag reads: "Mayhew's Jewellery in background." This glass negative was used to make a lantern slide (60ls).

The photo album was unstable and the prints were removed and are now located in a print storage box.

See the publication - How Firm a Foundation: A History of the Township of Cramahe and the Village of Colborne in Cramahe's Digital Archives (3bk), p.152 for a reference to Mayhew's Jewellery and Harnden's Jewellery.
